Who doesn’t want to make money after being reborn?

Chapter 287 Fighting a Culture War

No wonder they care so much about the profit model!

Mr. Luo, when he was eighteen years old, turned out to be favored by Jack Ma through his profit model and WeChat development model!

End the call with Xiao Ma.

Chen Rui finally understood what the gap was between himself and Luo Hui.

I can tell.

Brother Xiao Ma did not joke during the communication, but explained to him the real background of WeChat’s 8 billion financing.

It makes sense when you think about it.

When QQ dominated the world, it was not like no one tried to make an instant messaging software.

On the contrary, there are countless Internet companies trying to enter this field like crucian carp crossing the river.

They are all powerful opponents.

"Has Director Chen thought about the business model?"

"Brother, it's not a good habit to have sex for free. You can't do it like this."

The ambition is not the age!

Tomorrow, facing this new young Internet boss, you have to brace yourself and concentrate on dealing with it!

Is this situation just because of the excellent functional design of WeChat?

No!

Seeing Fat Penguin being entangled by Zhou Hongyi, many major Internet companies started R&D and promotion projects for instant messaging software.

"Hello, Director Luo!"

He bit the word "again" heavily and secretly reminded the other person: This time it was you who delivered it to your door!

"mean!"

The salary has dropped significantly.

Especially during the 3Q war.

WeChat, which developed from a corner, and the king of traditional instant messaging software joined forces to strangle other software, and other software was beaten to the ground.

"I want to listen to Director Luo's advice first."

But WeChat’s ownership structure is very clever, tying Jack Ma, an Internet tycoon from all provinces, to its own chariot, forming a strong restraint on Fat Penguin.

This time, Luo Hui did not choose to greet him at the entrance of the park.

Ran and egg.

"Hello, Director Chen, we meet again!"

Immediately, he sat down at the tea table without any ceremony.

He stayed quietly in his office and didn't get up to welcome Chen Rui until he pushed the door open.

Chen Rui also apparently forgot about the previous minor conflict and shook hands warmly to say hello.

Facing the big mountain of QQ, they all failed.

Avoiding being nipped in the bud by Fat Penguin is the key to WeChat finally taking the lead and gradually gaining the upper hand.

"It's not that I'm stingy, but I know that Director Chen and the management team of Xiaopo Station won't listen to your suggestions. You can only come up with a new management model yourself. If I feel that I can, I can meet your financing requirements. If I feel it’s not possible, of course I don’t have to talk about financing.”

"Mr. Luo said this as if we are a bunch of old diehards."

"You understand correctly. In my eyes, the management team of Xiaopozhan is a group of old stubborns and lacks business sense."

"Avoiding commercialization is the principle of our team, and it is also the main reason why young people like small websites."

"Director Chen, if you still develop your company based on such principles, we will have nothing to talk about."

"So direct?"

"Brother, I am a businessman. I focus on profits, not public welfare."

"The truth is this. However, we always feel that it is not a good thing for domestic Internet companies to have too strong a commercial atmosphere."

"Without commercial operations, small broken stations have no future. Enterprises without dreams are sad, and enterprises purely for dreams have no future."

"Does Mr. Luo have a dream?"

"Of course! The statue and the slogan at the entrance of the park say it all."

"But……"

"There is nothing wrong with it. The purpose of the business I founded is to 'serve the people.' However, before the business develops, the people will not pay for it. I must operate it commercially to ensure that the business has enough profits to continue to develop." .”

"What you said makes sense."

Use honorifics!

Luo Hui sensitively caught Chen Rui's change in tone: "Now, Director Chen, are you willing to talk about the new profit model that you and the senior management of Xiaopo Station are studying?"

"To be honest, we have been holding video conferences in the past two days to study the profit model."

"How is the result?"

"We are going to adopt a paid subscription model." "Can you be more careful?"

"It's almost a VIP model. By recharging VIP, you can subscribe to some more well-produced video content."

“Don’t plan to add ads?”

"No! We insist on putting an end to hard advertising. Only UP owners can embed ads in video content. This is the profit model left to UP owners."

"can."

"Are you ready to invest money?"

"Yup!"

"Do you have any requirements?"

"Have!"

"any request?"

“Only a VIP charging model is not enough, we must also provide paid content for knowledge, similar to the video version of WeChat subscription account.”

"Well, the '100,000 Master Class' project of the WeChat official account is indeed very successful, and the payment rate is very high."

"There are still requests."

"Please enlighten me."

"The paid content for knowledge is mainly for historical knowledge and science popularization projects."

"why?"

"Promoting our country's history and culture and popularizing scientific understanding are in line with our group's purpose of 'serving the people'."

"Hahahaha, no problem."

"So, now my question is, how much does Mr. Chen plan to raise? How many shares are he willing to put up to obtain these funds?"

"I want eight billion!"

"It's a bit much. The total market value of small broken websites is not worth this price at the moment."

"I can transfer 35% of the shares."

"In how many batches will the money be received?"

"Five batches will be ready within three years."

"Happy cooperation!"

Facing Luo Hui's extended hand, Chen Rui suddenly hesitated.

Looking at the smile on Luo Hui's face warily: "Is Mr. Luo so happy to agree?"

"Dr. Chen is worried that the asking price is too low?"

"No, I always feel like I'm at a disadvantage."

"How about you try to find Erma?"

"Forget it, one thing doesn't bother two people. Moreover, Bytedance Group's corporate purpose is very consistent with our Xiaopozhan's corporate philosophy, and it is a trustworthy partner."

"Then prepare the contract."

"The contract is ready, you can see what details need to be modified."

"..."

Xiaopozhan is the most suitable enterprise to take the knowledge payment route.

Without him.

The main reason is that the UP owners of this site are college students from most universities in China and can provide high-quality content.

Most of the users are college students and have super strong appreciation ability.

Those paid knowledge content that fools people simply cannot survive, but they can produce high-quality content.

If efforts are made to popularize history and science, a cultural trend can definitely be formed.

Culture is the focus.

Luo Hui's main motivation for founding TT, besides making money, was to fight a cultural war.

He needs Xiao Po Zhan as an ally.

No matter how many doubts Chen Rui had in his heart, he had to sign the contract as soon as possible.

Then, I pushed a small broken station and pushed forward the plan to go to sea as soon as possible.

It is convenient to have a powerful helper in the cultural war that we will inevitably encounter in the future.
